New findings into California’s net loss of residents in recent years. Also, colleges and universities are seeing a spike for immigration legal services. Finally, Insight’s “Art Talk” lays out local events throughout February.
There has been a decent amount of coverage since the pandemic about California losing residents to other states. There are still millions of new residents to the Golden State. But this net loss has come with historic consequences. Following the 2020 Census, California lost a congressional seat for the first time in state history. Eric McGhee is a Policy Director and Senior Fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) and discusses their latest findings into Who’s Leaving California and Who’s Moving In.
Colleges and universities across California have seen a spike in demand for immigration legal services since President Donald Trump promised to secure the southern border and called for mass deportations. Pierce College student Delilah Brumer and Sacramento State student Mercy Sosa are fellows with CalMatters College Journalism Network. They join Insight to talk about the roles that “Dream Resource Centers” play for undocumented students and mixed-status families, and how immigration uncertainties are playing out on their campuses.
CalMatters is a nonprofit newsroom that partners with public media stations across the state.From Second Saturday to Wide Open Walls, Sacramento has always had a rich and diverse arts scene. That creative vibe isn’t just limited to the central city, either. On just about every Friday or Saturday of the month in Northern California you can find an art walk or exhibit opening in communities all over our region. But how to decide what to do and where to focus your energy? That’s where Art Talk comes in. Each month, arts advocate Veronica Rodriguez will join us to highlight arts and culture in our community, kicking off February activities with a trip to the Sojourner Truth Museum to celebrate Black History Month and ending with Sac Fashion Week.
